Sermon | "Counting the Cost" Part 2 | November 3

Fear and trust have an interesting relationship - often dancing with one another; sometimes beautifully and, at other times, violently. When it comes to possessions and finances fear and trust are always under the surface. Will I have enough? What happens if? Will I ever recover? God will provide...but when? We believe that God does provide what we need when we need it. We pray for daily bread - for His provision every day. There is a cost to a whole-hearted following of Jesus and His way. Counting the cost includes a daily provision.

Sermon | "Counting the Cost" Part 1 | October 27

Why does something have value? What gives it its value? Why is one thing valuable to one person while it has no value to another? There are things in our lives that are "worth" a lot and because that's true - we hold them close to our heart. But, what if God requires that we give that which is close to our heart to Him? What if that thing of value has, unknowingly, become an idol in our lives? Would we lay it at the feet of Jesus? There is a cost to a whole-hearted following of Jesus and His way. It's worth counting the cost.

Sermon | "Welcome Home" | October 20

The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a powerful story of identity and grace. As we conclude the series, we'll reflect on our rooted identity in Christ—knowing that God defines who we are. We'll explore how the Father’s love meets us in the mess and invites us to come home, no matter how far we've wandered. This week, we'll be reminded that our hope is in Jesus, who offers us a life that is far better than anything we could achieve on our own, because it’s a life lived in the fullness of His love and grace.

Sermon | "Expired Invitation" | October 6

The Parable of the Great Banquet illustrates God’s abundant generosity and His desire to include everyone in His kingdom. But how often do we live with that same spirit of invitation and generosity? This week, we'll explore how to cultivate unhurried lives and become generous hosts—people who share ourselves and our resources with whoever God puts in our path. We’ll learn that true generosity isn’t just about giving what we have, but about creating space for others to experience the fullness of God’s grace.
